Ah Ok, I am not really familiar with kobject/sysfs so I thought there 
was a proposition to store the id in the kobject instead of using the 
tag callbacks, so I figured, perhaps, the idr could have been used in 
the kobject layer and the sysfs being built upon that.

Yes as mentionned Benjamin, we have the eth0 in the init_net which is 
shut down when a network namespace with a netdev with the same name 
exits. There is a udev rule which ifdown eth0 :)
